CURRENT MISSION

Life goal: Be called a philanthropist. Surviving, learning, loving until I get there.

ABOUT ME
I am an artist. I am a CEO. I want to nurture empathy. I love Long Beach. And I secretly want everyone to fall in love with it too so I'd love to share it with you.

I love people. I'm not sure what I'm good at. But I know what I like.

I've got a production company. They say the pen is mightier than the sword. And that a picture is worth a thousand words. And I take 24 pictures a second. Sefu Isaac.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that if Jesus were hanging out in town, he'd be in the coffee shops, bars, concerts, and clubs.
I believe that no one ever has a right to be an asshole. Ever.
I believe that I'm a broken person trying to figure out how to make it by.
I believe that being reconciled is the most rad thing that has ever happened to me or anyone--so everything I do is to help the world reconcile.
I believe that I am supposed to be a good neighbor (so come hang out!).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's really important to me that that we act like humans. Human interact and we need more of that. We're all looking for excuses to love each other; Couchsurfing is a really good excuse.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hitchhiked for a while up and down the pacific north-west. Cali to Seattle, to the Olympic Peninsula, up Widbe, to the border, back to Seattle, to Idaho, Nampa to Boise, to Portland, back to the SF Bay Area.

Later on, I couchsurfed from here out to South Dakota and back. Super great days.

After you have no home, it feels like the worst thing that could happen to you is still better than what you've already done voluntarily. Like, even if I lose everything, I can still hitchhike around, right?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I started a company.
I am BLOWN AWAY by red tide and how it makes waves glow.
I've backpacked and camped a whole lot, but still don't give off the outdoorsy impression.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to juggle.
I know about private schools and university.
I know about filming and cameras.
I know a little about philosophy.
I know a lot about religion and its benefits and pitfalls.
I know about movies.
I know about technology.
I know nothing about pop culture.
And I don't know any actor's names.
